[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Iran is an Islamic country that is governed by Sharia law. Like many other Islamic countries that follow Sharia law, Iran has a sizeable Christian minority. However, these Christians do face harassment and persecution by some of their non-Christian neighbors. If they attempt to convert someone who was not born into a Christian family to Christianity, they can go to jail. Additionally, if a Muslim in Iran attempts to convert to Christianity, that person can face jail time or even be killed.

Christians in Afghanistan face similar persecution, and Afghan Christians often practice their faith in secret. Under ISIS, which has lost nearly all of its territory, Christians in Syria, Iraq, and Yemen faced immense persecution, with many being beheaded in public. These countries remain very dangerous for Christians. Somalia, Pakistan, and Nigeria have faced recent insurgencies of terrorist groups that have kidnapped, murdered, and brutalized Christians.

In North Korea, Christians and Christian missionaries are routinely imprisoned in labor camps.

Americans Heather Mercer, 24, and Dayna Curry, 30, were arrested in August for showing a video and book about Jesus to an Afghan family in their home. This act, according to Taliban authorities, violated a law against proselytizing -- trying to convert others to Christianity.

Communist China restricts proselytization to members of state-supported churches.

Sometimes, extremist religious groups unilaterally impose punishment on fellow nationals who have converted to Christianity. In October, Pakistani gunmen killed a Muslim security guard, a minister and 14 other Protestants worshiping at St. Dominic's Catholic Church in Bahawalpur, Pakistan.

op, there are countries that ban missionaries. These countries also arrest people for sharing the word of God. There are countries that imprison missionaries. These are communist countries and Muslim countries under Sharia law. Op, is that what you want for the United States and the 3rd World?

Seriously -- no need to go to extremes.  You can be opposed to proselytizing and imprisoning missionaries and imposing sharia law all at the same time.[/quote]

honestly just stop. you are a not a good person. if you really cared about your fellow man you wouldn’t be obsessively posting here.

countries that ban missionaries are evil. worst case scenario is that a poverty stricken 3rd world citizen has to say a few words they may not believe in to receive life saving surgery for their loved one. big whoop.

Anyone posting here (exclude me, I am decent and hardworking and have been on several mission trips to very dangerous parts of the world and didn’t force anyone to do anything, thanks) really isn’t an individual that is active in the realm of helping their fellow man in any way, shape, or form. Helping others takes time and money and effort. You ain’t doing that posting here. Keep talking out your butthole. Means zero. [/quote]
